Entry and movement
Door clearance, landing space, stair direction and the route to the driveway or walk.
Calgary front porches
A front porch that works with your entry.
Replacing worn steps or planning a different entrance? We look at the door, landing, stairs, railing and approach together, then put the proposed work in a clear written quote.
Plan the whole entrance
What we look at on the site visit
Existing conditions
The visible supports, house connection and any removal or investigation the work needs.
Surface and railing
Material choices, visible edges, stairs, guardrails and handrails suited to the design.
Written scope
What is being removed, reused or rebuilt, along with required approvals and how fees are treated.
Keep the materials and the layout in one plan
Compare composite and cedar options alongside the stairs and railing. If you are replacing an old porch, our rebuild assessment explains why the structure needs attention before new boards go down. See our Calgary permit guide for the planning questions.
Front porch questions
Can you assess an existing front porch?
Yes. We look at the entry, visible structure, stairs, railing and layout before recommending what can stay and what needs replacing. Concealed conditions may need further investigation.
Who handles required permits and inspections?
WBD handles required permit applications and inspections. The written scope identifies the required work and how permit fees are treated. Requirements depend on the property and design.
What should I send before a site visit?
Send your community, a few photos of the entry and stairs, rough dimensions and what you want to change. Mention any access concerns or features you want to keep.
